The Wizarding World is one of the most popular franchises in the world, thanks to J.K. Rowling's novels, as well as theme parks, video games, stage plays and (of course) the Harry Potter movies. The property will expand shortly with the forthcoming Harry Potter TV show, which debuts its first season in December. The BTS documentary about Season 1 showed off some amazing animatronics, one of which might mean a beloved scene from the first book is heading to the screen.
Anticipation is building for the Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone series, which is expected to be a more accurate book-to-screen adaptation than the film. In the documentary Finding Harry: The Craft Behind the Magic (which is streaming with an HBO Max subscription), Creature Effects Design Supervisor John Nolan debuted realistic owls, as well as an animatronic for Ron's rat Scabbers. We even got to see one where the rodent is rigged to bite a finger. Check it out below:
